About Me
I'm Casting Boakye a final year undergraduate student of University Of Ghana in West Africa reading combined Political Science and Information Studies. I lost both parents in an accident at the age of 12. Ever since, my elder brother who dropped out of school to work as a mechanic has been my greatest backbone in my education. I've been through severe hardships that have really strengthen me, from selling on street after school hours at junior high school and washing dishes at restaurants and food joints at night. I had to stay at home for two years to work to make a leaving to support my brother to enable him fund my high school bills. I love tress and mostly spend my leisure times in the garden
My Business
My business is called 'Greenville', this is a business that is intended to promote afforestation in our environment and also provide employment. We will nurse 1000 seedlings of trees every month for and sell to individuals and bodies involved in tree planting. I chose this business because, the rapid increase in the demand for panting of trees in our environment to curb the challenges associated with global warming. Estimated cost for the business is $ 500 for employing 10 workers for the the startup, estimated amount for logistics is $300, estimated amount for the seedings is $200, estimated cost for land space is $600, and estimated cost for irrigation is $200. The estimated revenue after selling 1000 trees is $3000. The profit of the business will be reinvested in growing the business.
Loan Proposal
I will use the loan to increase my employers and provide them with all necessary resources to enhance them in working. Also I intend buy a website which will increase my publicity as well as enhance our work by reach more clients at far and near. This will also reduce the paper work which slows down work. The cost is $1500.
